Climb a Mountain, Portage a Kayak, Eat Ice Cream

September 10, 2019 / Brett Ann Stanciu / Leave a comment

So much for summer. So long, summer, and diving off kayaks and swimming. Hello, autumn.

Here’s a few scenes from exploring glacier-cut Groton, Vermont.

The world? Moonlit
Drops shaken
From the crane’s bill.

“Caught between the grindstones of poverty and addiction, her people are battered and fragmented yet hold tightly the better flickers of the human heart. At turns caustic and darkly comic, Call It Madness never loses sight of the decay within the veneers of social respectability, and how slender the chasm is between hope and despair. A haunting and visceral novel.”

            –Jeffrey Lent, author of A Slant of Light and In the Fall
